What camera are you using now? Why got Sony & Canon?

Basically they are of different mount so the lens itself is not interchangeable between the 2 different makes.

i am using sony a300 and my cousin is using canon 40d so if he got a tarmon lens for his 40d is it possible for me to mount it on my sony a300?

No, the lens mounts for each camera manufacturer is exclusive to that brand. Therefore a SONY lens cannot be fitted to a Canon body.

For third party lens manufacturers, they make the same lens but with different lens mounts for all the manufacturers they decide to support. So for example the Sigma 10-20mm is made with lens mounts for SONY (alpha mount), Canon (EF mount), Nikon (AF mount), Pentax (K mount) and Sigma. If I got the mount names wrong, bros please correct me. Fujifilm SLRs use Nikon's mounts.

Actually tamron used to manufacture adapt-all lenses.

If that tamron lens you mentioned, is an adapt-all lens, then if you buy the appropriate adaptor for Sony mount, then the lens can be mounted on your a300.

But if that lens is not adapt-all, and is specifically made to suit canon mounts, then there is no way for it to be mounted on your a300.

I see so is the a lot of all of adapt-all lens tamron lense in the market?

Nope, almost none. And they cost as much (counting adapters) as an original lens anyway.

Plus, most of them are the ancient type:

As has been mentioned in all the previous posts.... NO.

[Galdor]

Sony mount lenses can only be used on a Sony/KM camera and Canon mount lenses can only be used on a Canon cam.

confirm and confirm... NO...
